“I lived through the Dominion War like a lot of people did, I don’t assume anything about anyone anymore,” Ghubari said simply, turning the glass in her hand slightly. The desire to down the whole drink rather quickly was strong, and yet to do so meant letting go of control. Under the current circumstances, it wasn’t something she could do. So she would nurse the very welcome drink for the time being. And she had been truthful. She knew better than some that the exterior rarely allowed a proper glimpse at the interior of a person.
Sitting back in her seat, Koraia took a larger drink from her glass and sighed, gazing around the room a bit. “Thank you, for the drink. It’s nice to have someone help me with something I can actually do right now.”

Julien’s easy smile was back. “Drinking? Aye, that we can do. And talking, that as well. If the Q came by now and said he would fulfill all your wishes, what would you wish for… apart from the obvious?” he asked.

Her leg was the obvious thing, but there were so many things that had fallen apart with its removal. Her career was at a standstill, her relationship demolished, her sense of belonging evaporated, so with these things in tattered, what could she wish for that wasn’t so directly linked? She couldn’t go back and have her life back, so what would she want? The answer was both simple and complicated. “I’d wish to meet my father but if this is a Q scenario we’re talking about, then he could arrange it so that it could happen in a way that wouldn’t impact everything else.” She snorted. “So… what I’m saying is that there’s nothing, because that’s not how life works. We don’t get to pick and choose. That being said, if he could get my mother to leave the Earth ever, then that would help.”
